Its amazing to me as a mother how you accomplish things. I don't purposefully force anything down your throat because I don't see the need to force any sort of knowledge on you. Learning should be joyous, spontaneous and desirable. When the right time comes all the accumulated knowledge clicks and you "get it". That being said, today you said to me, "Mom, tie my shoes... No WAIT. I can tie them myself. "
I was apprehensive and running late as usual so I said, "Let me do it. We are late. "
"No mom! I can do it! I did it yesterday. The way you showed me how was a much easier way. WATCH!"
You showed me how you tied the knot. Then you repeated the words and steps that I showed you a week ago. Success!!! You got it tied. One more step towards independence. With a double knot so that they stay "tighter" (you said).
Learning Rocks.

I have to keep a journal for the young-un, and since I am NO good at doing it on paper, here goes.
About the son
This is about and for my son. I want to be able to keep track of all the cute things he says, like he calls candy canes, candy bones. Or when he says he doesn't like something, he says, "I can't want it". And he says, "good idea." you know, stuff like that.
